Well I'd say my GPU is the best out of all but I'm worrying that some other hardwares may be bottlenecking. Which hardware needs most help here?
 
The Q9450 would also be pretty good (better for multi-tasking, and not quite as good in gaming as the E8400).

If it ever gets released.

I assume Q means Quad here eh?
If that's the case I would expect it to cost me an arm + leg lol.
Let's say I can afford a maximum of 270 USD.

E8400 if that's the case. Then you have some extra for a good heatsink. Q9450 is going to be around $350 retail most likely.
